Yeah, totally took inspiration from the stuff available for Subaru and made like the front bumper , starting a rear one.

You too, thank you again for taking me in your car. It was so much fun! I cant wait for my jdm rs conversion, there will probably be many headaches to come haha. Maybe i will make a progress thread on the build.

Just got back to my house last night... So tired, but the fit did really well.

Hi Chris,
Nice to see you again too

Your J's Racing Yellow Tow Hook keep popping up in my mind each time I day dream (you know how much I love yellow)...

Ordered one of three remaining Mugen pieces that I want for my Fit. Surprisingly not much markup.

Went to the dealership and had them order the replacement airbag and make sure the driveshaft had been completed. Also, had them order one for my wife's Civic hybrid.
They will let me keep both at home and put us in rentals. Trying to decide whether or not to go buy 8 jack stands or just drive them around the block a couple times once a week.

Just let them in the driveway...

My summer cars are 6 months each year not moving in the garage/driveway without problems. One is a 2004 S2000 and the other is a 2000 Civic!

So I got the halos from superbrightleds.com (great company, great products). I got all of the other electrical parts (halo switches, wiring, add-a-fuse kit) from superbrightleds.com as well. I got the G37R shrouds from ebay (just because they were cheaper than TRS). I have no idea how long the halos last. I hope they last awhile, cause they were about $40/set. I assume they will last longer than your typical $15/set eBay halos...

Soon enough I need to post up more pics of them, but the Fit has and will lose priority in my life (moving into my college dorm on Sunday).

Booked an appointment to have new speakers installed. I didn't have the budget for seats, but I can at least enjoy my music on our trip across Canada.

Hi Mr. Hollow,...
I am still undecided on the J's Racing towhook... I really like it but I need to figure out how to cover the rectangular holes shown when we have the tow hook installed... I like your idea of drilling the rectangular plastic holes but it's hard to make it perfect, but I am thinking about it now hehehe...

and
May I know what is your SIDE PROJECT Idea ?


By the way, I just ordered:

IPF headlight LED H4 bulb 6500K 341HLB
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and

IPF LED bulb fog lamp 6500K H8 / 11/16 12v12w 101FLB
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hopefully it arrive sooner than 1 month from Japan

Now, I need to save money for the VLED switch back to replace the DRL function now not available anymore with this IPF LED Headlight...

I also purchase:
some special Torx tools to disassemble stock passenger seat rail Load Sensor and move it to Recaro Rails...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plus some Rockford Fosgate Wiring Kit and Distribution Block to fix my Big 3 Wiring kit once and for all from the current CCA (Cooper Coated Aluminum) wiring that prone to overheat to Pure Oxygen Free Cooper 0/1AWG wiring.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291822902932?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIThttp://www.ebay.com/itm/301956110481?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Monster Cable Ring Terminals (this one is discontinued and I found Amazon had the last 3 pair of new old stock so I buy all 3 pairs so I am set for the next few decades )
The advantage of this one is because it have an extended head design that will fit the small space at Alternator output bolt unlike other Ring Terminal design.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Monster 300 Crimpless Ring Terminals Power 1/0 & 2 AWG Ring Term (MPC P300 CPRT 1)

Also bought several Streetwires Inter-Lok ring terminals for other 1/0AWG Big 3 wiring connection needed.

We may end up in that area. We have no definite plans yet, except going to North Bay to visit my parents and her dad. I've saved some extra money to go treasure hunting (I collect vinyl records), so who knows where we might end up.
